Yep, I lost on that one 45 points after being up more than 130...maybe I will try next time 5000 as an entry. ;=)
I have still this put armada in place. Missed out on the 5000 dip. Maybe if uncle German finance minister Schäuble decide for the next big mistake in this unreal EU saga, we will see the haven falling...
Did you observe the early morning "manipulation attempt"? Some HFT machines tried pretty obviously to "squeeze" the DAX Future above 6677.00. Then a real money player emerged and sold 150 market "at market". Result: 12 points down. Ha, ha, ha. Too funnny.
Well, I was busy with some stop loss of NG, it somehow opened at 500 instead of 642. It makes hell of the difference if you are leveraged. It was sorted on the phone. Otherwise, dax is doing nice waves on which I did not participate. Sold some 6200 calls that I was holding ( that was good trade). I planned 5600 puts but didn't have time to look at it in the morning. I'm currently short MIB but it somehow doesn't want to go down enough, .
17% in 5 days. Impressive "bear market rally". I hope, there are still tons of bearz out there - feeling the heat of "short covering"
I jumped in too early in the morning at 5930, covered at 5922. At the same time closed 5900 puts from y'day at 5915 a bit too early as well, should have waited for sub 5900. No view for direction, DAX looks like tripple bottom, EU problems partially resolved for time being, but downgrades are coming in. Earning season started, Google is pushing up tech, but overall it is going to be rollecaster again, .
For me DAX looks like triple top. Also the bottom was not convincing for me. I wouldn't be too astonished if a big downward move would again test the lows. Still holding two cars from 6027. Either I'll be stopped out at entry or will follow all the way down.
